A PALACE OF GOLD.
King Corn aud His Temple in hi
West

King Corn and His Temple in tho
West.
The land of corn is the. west. Not the corn
OF Egypt, but Indian corn, known to the
tyro in geography as "maize." No waiter in
a New York restaurant would know what
you meant If you asked for corn griddle
cakes. Indian meal is the name by which he
knows cornmeal. The writer once asked a
waiter, who was bringing a plato Of nice
brown cakes, If they were of cornmeal. "No,
sir; they are Indian" was his reply. But
everywhere west of the Alleghenies every
waiter knows all about corn. Among people
who have never brenthed western air tho idea
obtnins that the west is simply a gigantic
corntield, with Indians lurking suspiciously
between the rows and buffalo ranging de-
family around its edges. Perhaps they get
their idea from ''rhe Hoosier Schoolmaster."
Mrs. Means thought it the part of wisdom to
"buy more land to raise more corn to feed
more hogs"
Heretofore the west has raised its corn as a
matter of course and made no parade about
it. Now it has made up its mind that its
corn is a thing to be proud of, and that it is
quite time to pay it some honor, since it is its
special source Of wealth and commercial
strength. Somebody SAYS that after the citi-
Eens of the west began to realize how mighty
a factor in civilization was their corn, 'the
mater ptSulht lhipOi buhI nv OHSSi I'M VIZ
plain, yellow ear OF corn has now the respect
of thousands of people who never gave it
more than a passing thought before"
Sioux City. Mob, is alive to it, if you
please. That city is going to have a corn ju-
bilee, commencing Oct. 3 and ending Oct. s.
And It's great feature will be a corn palace
an allegorical temple. of Ceres-a marvellous
creation, as tho picture represents, created
out Of shining, simon pure yellow corn. AT
least it will be mostly of the yellow corn.
Wheat and other cereals will be used as
trimmings.
In Sioux City corn is king, and the Corn
Palace Jubilee will undoubtedly establish his
reign more securely and award him the hom-
ago which is his due.
"Yes. corn is king" says the voice of the
west, "and for twenty-five years his kingdom
has been growing. he has done good deeds;
he has endeared himself to the hearts of his
people. He has fed them with bread and
with meat; he has made some rich, and no
has made many comfortable who before were
vcriest slaves. He has been too busy with
tho welfare of his people even to think Of
self. His honor has been the honor of useful
ness-not the glory and pomp and circum-
stance of empty reputation"

become one of the SIR CHARLES RUSSELL
principal figures OF the northern circuit,
and at the age Of 80 he had attained the
silk gown OF n queens counsel. He en-
tered public life in the parliament OF 1880
as a Liberal for the small Irish borough
of Dundalk, but WINS deferred from taking
all active part by the conflict between the
anti Nationalist attitude OF his party and his
own Irish sympathies. When, in the succeed
lug parliament, Gladstone, now a convert to
home rule, formed his memorable home rule
ministry, Russell was brought into it as
attorney general. He became from the out
set one Of the four or five chief personages
OF that cabinet, as he will be OF the new one
should Mr.. Gladstone be again called to
power.

France can put into the field with marvellous
rapidity 10000 0 soldiers and still have the
500, 900 "reservistes" to serve as territorial
troops. The rapid concentration proves that
every detail had been worked out. The ter
ritory Of rance is compact; the railroads
center toward the north and east, and are In
a high state Of efficiency; they can be taken
any minute by the government, and SO, If
France does go to war soon, we may expect q
contest to dwarf all that have gone before it.
"Ah, il we had only been as well prepared in
1S7Or' say the Radicals, with a sigh. But
the Conservative journals express a hope that
this perfect preparation will prevent war,
and LIE Monde Tlustre says:
1--WE need not disguise the fact that this
great experiment in mobilization will be
keenly regarded by the foreigner, and that
on the activity, zeal and good will of each
participant will depend the impression it will
give, beyond our boundaries, Of our military
condition. 1t will be a grand moral victory
IL the foreign organs worthy Of attention
shall say after the fact is proved: France is
indeed prepared for any dealings with other
nations hereafter

70 SUIT MS BODY, and
you have the corporal presence of Illinois
capital representative. He looks quite too
good natured for the business he is in, but he
stirs a witness up occasionally, all the same.
To his right sits the soft voiced blonde,
Hon. E. Ellery Anderson, of Now York city.
who does the questioning for the commission.
His manner Of opening the attack on any
special point is extremely deferential, tbs
very height OF courtesy; but at about the
seventh question he has the witness in a
corner, as it were. AT the head of the table
sits Ex-Governor Pattison, of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the commission; and nature
could scarcely have formed a more striking
contrast than that between him and MIR.
Anderson, for the governor is a very dark
brunette-dark as the typical Spaniard of
Andnlusia. Hair, beard and eyebrows arc
of a dead black; but, like the other two mem
beers, he has the size. In fact, a striking
feature OF the whole affair is the bigness of
the participants-there are no little mon in
the business, and Mr.. Huntington, the
champion witness, is apparently tue biggest
and most imposing of the lot. In size and
general make up he bears a curious resem-
blance to the late Brigham Young, except
that he lacks that heavy under jaw and
pulled lip which gave the Mormon chiefs
face a suggestion of grossness.
Mr. huntington Is the center OF attraction,
and at times is noticeably nervous, a mani
festation which causes a smile among the OBJ
servers. Nobody laughs at u little thin fellow
for being nervous-we expect It OF him; but
when IA great mass OF blood and brain, Drawn
and healthy flesh like this hdgets like a
schoolboy or slightly reddens ns a budding
maiden, there is a comical contradiction be-
tween the subject and the action. And just
in proportion as he gets excited he forgets his
grammar; provincialisms Of his Connecticut
boyhood come out, and he tells what 1--WE
done and why we done,it," or "guesses the
commission will have to go to the documents
for that" But in one part OF his testimony
on the day the writer was present he became
highly Enthusiastically thrilling. That
was when he told of his experience with the
wild Indians Of Nevada: how W~innemucca
could rally 5000 warriors; how his band had
defeated the soldiers and killed IT'S persons ut
Big Meadow; how he and the Central Pacific
made a special treaty with Winnemucca
gave him n special car free, carried his peo-
pie free on the freight trains, and how all
this produced a lasting peace with those Indi-
ans, till now tho sage brush plains OF Nevada
were rs safe as the Mohawk vale and in a
fair way to blossom as the rose. In short,
Mr.. Huntington waxed so eloquent in various
statements of what he had done for his coun-
ally pathetic; and one felt for the time that
the prosecuted patriot should be dismissed
with a pension.

gression Of this nature when Gen. Grsnville

France, the six departments centering at

success. Within twenty-four hours 10000
men were at the military depots ready for
active servicel
The illustrated papers Of Paris give graphic
accounts of the proceedings, with %illustra-
tions, some of which we reproduce. The
Seventeenth army corps, the one selected, Is
commanded by Gen. Breart, who served with
great distinction in Africa in 1S56-57, in Italy
in 1859, in the Mexican expedition and the
war with Prussia, and has risen by regular
degrees from sous Lieutenant to division
general. Pursuant to a law passed on the
29th of July the government first issued pri-
vate directions TO all the commanders of the
six departments included in the district of
the Seventeenth corps. Placards were then
shipped to t. Q mayor Of every to
be held for orders. On the 30th of Angus at
Sp. M, the telegraphic order went OUT:
"Mobilize the active troops of the Seven
tenth corps d'armee, The first day of mo-
bilization is Aug. 81"
A few minutes after the dispatch was re-
ceived at the principal towns of tho district
the mayors were notified, and next morning
the people saw this on the bulletin boards:
EXPERIMENT OF MOBILIZATION.
In execution of the law of July 30, 1887, the
minister of war orders the mobilization of the

services in getting from the state the state tax
paid 10y the county on horses and cattle
on which there was levy Of three mills

He bases his claim on the contract made
with the commissioners while he was county

was performed after the expiration OF his

never take what the com missioners offer,
but that 1T one time he agreed to accept

county. He is bound t, pay all the costs of
the suit brought in D,uphin county, which
are considerable, and in addition he has q
